Released in 1982, the first compilation to take an overview of the
then-emerging California hardcore punk scene. Includes classic tracks, some
not available elsewhere, by Bad Religion, Channel 3, Adolescents, Lost
Cause, Flesheaters, Descendents,T.S.O.L., Red Kross, The Minutemen and
others. Essential album to understand the hardcore / punk evolution from late 70s to early 80s, specially in the american west coast, where bands and public have as a favourite an style faster but also light and melodic. This is no doubt a true documentary with high musical quality. It could be a right explanation related to 90's melodic hardcore punk scene, "Epitaph Records", etc.
